The experimental material comprising of seven new genotypes along with three checks  were evaluated in six environments, in Peninsular Zone, Maharashtra,  India during 2016-17 and 2017-18. Mean squares due to genotypes were highly significant for cane yield (tha^-1), CCS yield (tha^-1), CCS%, sucrose% at harvest, NMC   (‘000’ ha^-1), ACW (kg). The genotypes PDN 13007 and PDN 13011 along with check variety CoM 0265 were found stable for cane yield (tha^-1). The genotypes PDN 13007 and PDN 13002 along with check variety CoM 0265 was found stable for CCS yield (tha^-1). The genotype CoVSI 05058 was found stable for CCS% and sucrose% at harvest. The check varieties Co 86032 and CoM 0265 were found below average stability for the trait NMC. Hence, the genotypes PDN 13007 and PDN 13011 promising lines could be recommended for commercial cultivation or could be suitability used in further improvement programme for cane and CCS yield.
